Competitive analysis
Competitor scorecards, head-to-head views, and content gaps.
Last updated May 12, 2026
What we track per competitor
For each competitor on your list:
- Their headline score and six dimension scores (running the same audit against their site as we do against yours).
- Their citation rate across the prompts you both target.
- The pages on their site that AI engines cite most often.
- Gaps — prompts they win that you don't.
Adding competitors
Settings → Company → Competitors. Three ways to add:
- Paste a URL. Fastest. The discovery agent fetches their site and runs a lightweight audit.
- Pick from suggestions. During each audit, we suggest 3–5 newly-discovered competitors based on shared prompt mentions. Click Add to track.
- CSV upload. For agencies onboarding 50+ competitors at once.
A workspace can track up to 20 competitors per company on Strategy, 40 on Managed, unlimited on Full Domination.
The scorecard view
For any company, the Competitors tab shows a sortable table:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Brand | The competitor name with a favicon |
| Headline | Their headline score, with a delta vs. yours in parentheses |
| Discoverability | Their dimension score |
| Structure | Same |
| Authority | Same |
| Clarity | Same |
| Prompt presence | Same |
| Coverage | Same |
| Prompts won | Count of prompts where they outrank you |
Sort by Prompts won to find your most threatening competitor — usually not the brand with the highest score, but the one beating you on the most queries.
Head-to-head
Click any competitor row to open the head-to-head view. It's a side-by-side audit comparison: your six dimensions vs. theirs, plus a list of every prompt where you both appeared and who outranked whom.
This is where most strategic content decisions get made. If a competitor wins 8 of 10 comparison-page prompts in your category, that's a brief for 10 comparison pages. See Comparison pages.
Content gaps
The Gaps tab lists prompts where:
- At least one competitor is cited.
- You are not.
Each gap has a one-click Generate that pre-seeds a content brief targeting it. The brief defaults to the content type the winning competitor used (comparison page, FAQ, blog post, etc.) — you can change before submitting.
How fresh is this data
Competitor audits run on the same cadence as your own — but in lower priority. If your audit is daily, theirs is at least weekly. Bumping a competitor to your cadence is a Pin competitor option on the Domination tier.
Removing or pausing a competitor
Settings → Company → Competitors → row menu. Pausing keeps history but stops new audits; removing wipes them entirely. Pause is reversible, remove is not (you can re-add but lose the historical scores).
When the competitor list goes stale
Markets shift. A quarterly review is healthy:
- Remove competitors you no longer consider relevant.
- Add the new entrants the discovery agent flagged.
- Re-pin whoever is the most credible threat right now.
The discovery agent never silently adds — every addition is your call.
